Stirling waking up. This shot is taken from one of my favourite spots, just outside Bannockburn.

I love how the distant mountains are already catching some of the sunrise colour from the sky, although this shot was taken about an hour before dawn

Nobody move! Our jaw is somewhere on the floor because of this stunning photo, help us find it! 😮🤩

Dusk falls and the lights come on around @stirlingcastle, with evening twighlight still on the snowy hills of Beinn Each and Stuc a Chroin in the background.
